LEFT BEHIND follows Rayford Steele (Nicolas Cage) who is piloting a commercial airliner just hours after the Rapture when millions of people around the globe simply vanish. Thirty thousand feet over the Atlantic, Rayford is faced with a damaged plane, terrified passengers, and a desperate desire to get back to his family. On the ground, his daughter, Chloe Steele (Cassi Thomson) is among those left behind, forced to navigate a world of madness as she searches for her lost mother and brother. Shot mostly in and around Baton Rouge, LA., LEFT BEHIND was produced by Paul Lalonde and Michael Walker and co-written by Paul Lalonde and John Patus.
I really enjoy many of the movies that Nicolas Cage stars in and I love the sounds of this movie. The plot sounds unique and mysterious and full of action and adventure.
Nicolas Cage Says
“My greatest hope for this movie is that people will be entertained and thrilled by it, but also that they’ll go home and have conversations with their family, and ask ‘do you think this could happen, or couldn’t happen?’ and it’ll inspire discussion and closeness,” says leading actor Nicolas Cage.
The movie is based on the New York Times bestselling book series of the same name, co-authored by Jerry B. Jenkins and Tim LaHaye. Based on the Bible and published in 32 different languages, the series has sold more than 65 million copies and is one of the best-selling fiction series of all time. I had no idea it was based on a book(s). Usually when I find something like this out I have to read the book(s) first!
Left Behind Trailer
Wow after watching the trailer I’m definitely intrigued and since I’m currently not reading anything on my Kindle I think I’m going to get this and begin reading it now! Left Behind will hit the theaters on October 3rd!
Have you read the books? Do you plan on seeing the movie?
Liz Mays says
Normally this wouldn’t be of interest to me, but then they had to go and cast Nicolas Cage…. I might just have to see it after all.
Julie Wood says
I think that this is such an awesome movie and I am glad that Nicolas Cage is going to be in it. I have to see this movie. It will be riveting.
Tammy says
I have read the whole series of the books. I’m not quite sure how I feel about the movie. This is the second time they’ve done one. The first one had Kirk Cameron in it, it was okay but not super. Since this obviously had more money put into it, I hope it will be better.
Sarah L says
Not my cup of tea. Good if it creates discussions for families.
ellen beck says
I have read all of the books. Like someone stated above the first time the movie was done, I didnt care for it at all. I dont think i would like this one either but might see it once it hits DVDs.
Rhiannon Rowland says
Hmm, I have to read the books for sure. The movie looks good, but I am a big book person. I always have to read the book before I see the movie, I generally think the books are so much better but I enjoy seeing the interpretation on film too.
CR Williams says
This sounds like such a great movie for the entire family!
LyndaS says
I read the books years ago. I am surprised to see Nicholas Cage in the lead role.
Jo-Ann Brightman says
I have not yet read the book, but I think that I will go see the movie and perhaps then read the book. I t sounds like an interesting and thought-provoking theme.
Kelsey Apley says
I watched the old movie of this, the thing is I think it is great they are creating a new one. Something we all really need to think about because it is coming for sure.
Donna says
I read the book and saw the older version… this one looks really good!
Angela says
This looks like a good movie. I’m looking forward to it.
Tammy S says
I think this looks like a great movie. I also like Nicolas Cage. So that’s another reason to see the movie.
Jenn says
I might see it on Blu-ray. The story sounds great, but I’m not much of a Nicolas Cage fan. So much so that it ruins it for me sometimes. Which is sad.
Marcie W. says
I really like the plot and the film looks interesting, but the religious aspect is a personal turn off. I would definitely still give it a go.
Crystal says
I’m out of the loop a little on this one. Thankfully, I’ve got enough time to read the book before the movie comes out. I normally like Nicholas Cage movies, so I’m intrigued.
wen budro says
This sounds like it would be a movie worth watching. It should be interesting.
